wood

As some may know, I have a saw mill and have been doing some woodworking projects. I know that most sources say wood should be around 7-9% moisture for furniture and such. I mostly dry wood in my basement which is not heated or cooled. Just stacked and stickered. It works but takes just as...

Hello everyone. I use a translator, so I can write with mistakes. I'm new to the forum and would like to ask you for help. I purchased a new Woods TPR 7200. Unfortunately, it was delivered without a user manual. I couldn't find it on the manufacturer's website. Is there a way to find it on the...

My Mom has gotten a bad diagnosis recently. We have been trying to help create as many good memories as possible, for her and for our family. We built some wooden tulips before Easter and had a painting party and cooked a big breakfast with close family, it was a really good time. This time...

I was given 15 pounds of fine thread drywall screws intended for drywall attachment to metal studs. Have drywall I want to attach to wood studs. Will they work for same?

I have a jd 3520 with cab, loader and 3rd function. Is there somewhere I can put fittings on the tractor, hook hydraulic lines to them and run to the rear of the tractor to hook to the control on a wood splitter? Thank you

Here is a easy process to remove the blades or fins from Teks wood to metal screws.

During the warm months when the stove is not in use, dampness enters from the chimney and causes corrosion. I tried using Damp Rid and other moisture absorbing products, but there is just too much moisture for this to be effective. The flue has a damper but it doesn't seal completely and...

Wife called me yesterday. She's at an estate sale. Place out in the country, last day, closing in 2-3 hours.... has a pile of wood. She's told it's white oak. She wants to build a greenhouse, thought this might be good to use for shelving, screw backing to maybe mount something on the...

Did the skirting around this deck cause the treated lumber to decompose like this in 13 years? Was I crazy for expecting more time before having this type of problem? Deck was built in 2011 and there is a concrete patio under the entire deck with this solid skirting all around. Note, a couple...

I wouldn't say I am new to woodworking. I've made several nice looking but not fine built-in shelves for my house that turned out very well. All painted, not stained/finished. These were all using bought lumber. No serious joinery. I am currently making a set of shelves from white oak off of a...

I have 3 trailers with wood planks for the deck and I have been annually brushing on Olympic transparent sealer stain, but each year it flakes off and needs re-applied. I've seen/read where old timers use used motor oil mixed with diesel or kerosene and brush it on the wood on a hot summer...

I have a Split-Fire wood splitter that I use with my LX2610. I had previously used it on a B3030 and L3540 I once had. I would often be splitting word when I had a snowblower on back, and too early to remove it. I made an "A frame" so I could hang it off either my bucket with a center hook or...

Our situation: We have a lot of wood of all sizes from trees that fall or ones we take down. A lot. We have been harvesting the wood if over 3-4" and sometimes even keep the some of smaller stuff - all for firewood. But in the process we generate piles of the brushy/small limbed/twiggy stuff. We...

I have an old trailer and the wooden deck is rotting out and needs to be replaced. I thought there was thread about this but I can't find it. So, what do folks recommend for a new deck to carry my 7K lb tractor?

Made a quick video, hopefully it is helpful to anyone considering a 3 point splitter. I picked this one up for $250. I added the "table" area at the back to keep logs from falling down. I added a control rod coming from the tractor hydraulic block to the area where you stand. This is a simple...
